Everyone ready for a brand-new year of making fun of celebrities with needy egos and too much money? In the latter category, here’s Will Ferrell at ‘The Spoils of Babylon’ premiere in L.A. sporting a suit knitted from his ‘Anchorman 2’ residuals. Looking good, Mr. Burgundy!John Shearer
Not to be outdone, Kristen Wiig showed up at the ‘Babylon’ premiere in her own flashy frock, though she demurred at revealing its energy sourceJordan Strauss
When the two stars inevitably came together, the resulting power surge knocked out streetlights on Sunset Boulevard for eight blocksJohn Shearer

Shift to New York, where ‘Girls’ cast regular Allison Williams broached red-carpet etiquette by using an iPad to search for photos of herself on the ‘Girls’ red carpet while she was still on the ‘Girls’ red carpet. Don’t be so desperate, sista!LUCAS JACKSON/Reuters

Toward the same cause, Leto attempted to overpower the minds of media covering the Critics Circle Awards into supporting his bid for an Oscar nod.. ‘Repeat after me: Leto…Leto...’CARLO ALLEGRI/Reuters
‘Can you believe that crazy hippie?’ Redford laughed to Cate Blanchett. ‘He actually thinks he can hypnotize people into getting him an Oscar nomination?’CARLO ALLEGRI/Reuters
